More quotes by Jean-Paul Sartre
I admire [Samuel] Beckett, but I am totally against him. He seeks no improvement.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I considered calmly that I was born to write.
Jean-Paul Sartre
It is therefore senseless to think of complaining since nothing foreign has decided what we feel, what we live, or what we are.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Why do you keep maintaining your ideas are right if you can't prove them?
Jean-Paul Sartre
There is no human nature, since there is no god to conceive it.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I wrote in Les Mots that I have often thought against myself. That sentence has not been understood either. Critics have seen in it a confession of masochism. But that is how one should think: revolting against everything inculcated'' that one may have within oneself.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Acting is a question of absorbing other people's personalities and adding some of your own experience.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The more absurd life is, the more insupportable death is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Every word has consequences. Every silence, too.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I had dreamed my life for nearly fifty years (I am about to be fifty-nine). But, you see, there are two tones in Les Mats: the echo of this condemnation and a mitigation of that severity.
Jean-Paul Sartre
The [Communist] Party has one objective: the creation of a socialist economy and one means: the utilization of the class struggle.
Jean-Paul Sartre
To keep hope alive one must, in spite of all mistakes, horrors, and crimes, recognize the obvious superiority of the socialist camp.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I construct my memories with my present. I am lost, abandoned in the present. I try in vain to rejoin the past: I cannot escape.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Being is. Being is in-itself. Being is what it is.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Through the lack of attaching myself to words, my thoughts remain nebulous most of the time. They sketch vague, pleasant shapes and then are swallowed up I forget them almost immediately.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I am not virtuous. Our sons will be if we shed enough blood to give them the right to be.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Smooth and smiling faces everywhere, but ruin in their eyes.
Jean-Paul Sartre
To love is never just to love since it is also to will to love, and ... to love in spite of oneself, to allow oneself to be overcome by one's love.
Jean-Paul Sartre
Every age has its own poetry in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation, a race, a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.
Jean-Paul Sartre
If I relegate impossible Salvation to the prop room, what remains? A whole man, composed of all men and as good as all of them and no better than any.
Jean-Paul Sartre
